Claimed Lawyer Profile
Biography

Since 1992, I have advised business clients and executives regarding business disputes and represented them in court and arbitration. I work collaboratively with clients to achieve cost-effective resolutions of disputes, whether in litigation, arbitration, mediation or otherwise. I regularly counsel and advise media organizations on media law issues, including rights of access and litigation avoidance, and represent media organizations in litigation involving the First Amendment, defamation, rights of privacy and publicity and copyright and trademark enforcement. I defend banks and financial institutions in litigation, as well as attorneys, insurance brokers and other professionals against claims of negligence or misconduct. I also advise employers and enforce and defend employee confidentiality, trade secrets and covenants not to compete. I also handle litigation and administrative law matters involving regulation of alcoholic beverages and other trade regulation issues.
